[cisco-voip] Managing DID's ?

Unfortunately not as straight forward as it sounds because you can do  
trunks off to voice gateways or other PBX's and use virtual  
addressing on those.

Route Plan report is about the best approach going.  Use a  
translation pattern like XXXX to intercept the unassigned numbers and  
route them to your preferred call treatment.

I have one major issue/complaint if you will with callmanager, and
that is in regards to managing DID's or extension ranges or whatever
you want to call it.

I have no experience with any other phone systems or PBX's so nothing
to base this on but my own personal experience of having to manage
callmanager over the years.

Just seems there should be a way to manage them both DID's /
extensions.  I am refering to which are used or not.  I guess I think
of it in terms of DHCP kinda.  You put in the given range your working
with, and you can easily add and delete from within that range and see
statistics based on that range.  Such as how many are used, or
available.  When you delete a user/phone/extension maybe it goes back
into this available pool or something.

Right now all I can do is search say extension beginning with 145 and
see if anything is availble between 1450 - 1459 and so on.  I suspect
everyone has to deal with this same mess and I have to wonder if there
is a better way that I am simply not aware of.

Real nightmare for me right now due to acquisitions of others and
using their DID ranges which now seem to be all over the place for me.
  I have ranges using every number except 0 and 8, 8 is out outside
access number.  So I am running into issues now trying to make it all
work with new offices and what not.  I blame the person who setup four
digit extensions.

Thoughts and suggestions?
